Tbrain1989 I do hope you are being sarcastic.
A 1lb of fat weighs exactly the same as a 1lb of muscle.
You are right in saying muscle is denser, so a 1lb of muscle has a smaller volume than a 1lb of fat in the same way that a 1lb of chicken has a smaller volume than a 1lb of lettuce. But a 1lb is still a 1lb no matter what you are weighing.0 -

"You're fat because you like salmon and avocados."

Humm, PB on bacon, never heard this before.. gonna have to try that one. LOL0 -
I was under the impression that when people say muscle weighs more than fat, it means for example, a square-inch of muscle is heavier than a square-inch of fat.
Of course 1lb of fat weighs the same as 1lb of muscle, but are they of the same size?
I notice people make this mistake when it comes to muscle weighing more than fat...0 -
